'Unadoptable' Cat Finds Forever Home, But Now He Couldn't Be Happier

"Adopt, Don't Shop" is becoming increasingly popular. It encourages people to adopt shelter animals instead of going to breeders or pet stores. While this is incredible, there needs to be something added to this: "Adopt, don't shop...and older animals need homes, too!"

Reddit user LoogaBelgua shared the story of how she adopted her new friend, Benny. She was wandering around the shelter looking to adopt a cat, when she decided to take a look in the FIV+ room. FIV is feline immunodeficiency virus, and cats with this virus are often hard to adopt. When LoogaBeluga went to go pet a different cat, Benny came running.
